+Exact `f00c8279` packages the build-free status projector as the 24th binary.
+The cold package compiled its one deterministic release graph in 18m44s and
+produced release `sha256-a7c4c2e3...` with witness `sha256-e9984086...` without
+warnings. The identical warm replay took 10.64s total, Cargo 0.92s, and
+reproduced both identifiers exactly. Independent native inspection accepted
+both copies. Publication changed c005's main local Verse hash from
+`d88bb300...dcf0d` to `b160c610...3909` without activating the new body.
+
+The remaining cold iteration tax precedes that graph. `epiphany-release` owns
+package, inspect, and publish commands but imports all implementation through
+`epiphany-core::packaged_release`; obtaining the publisher therefore compiled
+the monolithic core for 7m57s before the package command compiled core again.
+Release construction and filesystem witness inspection need a narrow owner.
+Live CultMesh publication is a distinct authority and may continue through the
+core document catalog. The deletion line is the core-owned construction module:
+construction logic must not remain duplicated behind a new wrapper, and a
+bootstrap packaging tool must not depend on monolithic `epiphany-core`.

+Exact pushed source `f00c8279c966c43c6ac899d9b16280f373b45941`
+completed a warning-free 24-binary Linux package in 18m44s of Cargo work. The
+authenticated release is
+`sha256-a7c4c2e305257664e9fe2eb64fdd5ba9e7bcb3491c5697e95082c4a3713b579e`;
+its witness is
+`sha256-e9984086452ae0d4887f7ab63d111469d1f801fd7712c2441611bf5793b889b8`.
+Independent native inspection accepted source, inventory, hashes, and private
+state exclusion. The identical warm replay completed in 10.64s total with
+Cargo at 0.92s, reproduced both identifiers exactly, and passed a second
+independent native inspection. Receipts live under
+`.epiphany-run/linux-package-f00c8279-{3,warm}/`.
+
+Native publication inserted the release and head into c005's main local Verse
+without replacing the running 9b8df0b4 body. `local-verse.cc` changed from
+SHA-256 `d88bb300f8db589f3f82fcba6781b9eb1e9828f22a55684fdaaba0e8a68dcf0d`
+to `b160c610988753278afbad7f5bad436193144a92e9fd506982099ad58d213909`.
+Availability does not own activation.
+
+The remaining iteration tax is now precise. Rebuilding the exact release
+publisher first took 7m57s because `epiphany-release` imports packaged-release
+construction from monolithic `epiphany-core`; the package command then builds
+that core again inside the 24-binary graph. Extract construction and witness
+inspection into a narrow crate/tool, leaving live Verse publication as its own
+authority. Prove the cold bootstrap reduction without changing release or
+witness authority, then resume graceful SIGTERM ownership.

Native status then exposed a topology fault: resident Self was bound to stale /state/runtime.cc, while the proven coordinated chain lives in /state/eyes-tools/runtime.cc. The resident was rebound without copying state to the authoritative eyes-tools runtime, Mind, and local Verse while release authentication remains on the published main Verse.

The status projector no longer invokes Cargo for absent optional helpers, gains a coordinator-only read path, and becomes the 24th explicit release binary. Focused tests pass 19/19 release contracts and 3/3 status contracts; warm status tests take about 1-4 seconds.
